Bongo's Bingo Newcastle Pride special to be held completely outdoors

When Bongo's Bingo comes to Newcastle's it normally held under the roof of Boiler Shop, but things will be very different for its Pride special.

The insane mashup of bingo, cheesy music, rave and bonkers prizes, is launching this year's Newcastle Pride (or Northern Pride) with a special featuring Big Brovaz and Booty Luv up at the Town Moor.

The special will pave the way for a bumper weekend of Pride festivities with this year's featuring Fleur East and Liberty X.

The Newcastle Pride Saturday lineup also features Saara Aalto and the Newcastle Pride Sunday lineup featuring Boulevard.

And the Be Scene Zone will be open and packed full of dance and cabaret across the weekend.

But back to Friday and, unlike the other occasion when Bongo's moved from Boiler Shop to Times Square for a St Patrick's Day special, there will be no tent...the event will be outside!

Yes, Chronicle Live has had it confirmed that it will be a fully outdoor event.

A look at suggests conditions for the night, set to get going at 7pm, might be slightly questionable, so if you're going maybe take a poncho or a brolly to stop your bingo book from getting wet!

Bongo's Bingo ran an outdoor event at Manchester Pride last year and it went down a treat, so fingers crossed for no rain and more of the same in Newcastle!
